I have a Samsung TL220. I was taking pictures yesterday and all of a sudden the camera shut off but didn't retract the lense. I tried to turn it back on, and it would make a beep sound and then shut off again. I recharged the battery fully, then tried it again, the same thing happened. Is there a way to reset the camera, or to manually shut the lense? I need help please!!! Thanks!

Lense error- can hear lense trying to open, but lense does not come out of the camera body. This is weird because the camera was not dropped/hit/damaged. I used the camera to take night images of a rising moon. It took pics fine, but about an hour later when I tried to turn the camera on to review the pics, I got the lense error as noted above. 4 days later, same problem. The manual doesn't have any troubleshooting for this problem. Any suggestions? Anyone.....? Thanks for your time!

I own a canon s2 is power shot. Symptoms began with the digital zoom beeping and the screen going blank when invoked to draw an image closer. After a periood of time of avoiding the zoom, the camera lense stuck inside and gave an e18 message when beeping.

Well when i take a picture, it takes it. but when i try and take another picture, it just beeps three time. and then i tried to turn it off, and it wont do that either. it just says "please wait for your camera to finish recording" but im not recording anything. and i waited for a bit to see what happened. and all it says not is "system error" in red. the only way to turn it off is to take the battery out. i tried to reset it. but nothing is working...

Lens error I have an ixus 230 HS - I turned it on the other day & I must have bumped the lens or something, as it shut down. The lens stayed out though & wont close, when i turn it on it starts beeping at me & "Lens error, Will shut down automatically. Restart camera" comes up on the screen, it then shuts down again. I have removed the battery & the memory card, but to no avail.

Every time I turn the camera on it runs through it's warmup and then says please turn camera off and then on again. I do this and the same thing happens. When I turn it off it shuts down and then the lense retracts and comes back out before shutting down. Help!

When I turn the camera on the lens extends, the camera beeps several times, the lens comes back in, then the lens extends again, the camera beeps then it shuts off without having the lens come back in.

I can only turn on my Cybershot DSC-N2 while the camera is in playback mode. I can look at the pictures and videos and change settings with no problem.. but when I try to switch to camera or video record mode the camera turns off by itself.
Sometimes the lens will come out and then the camera powers down with the lens stuck out. Other times it just shuts off before the lens even has a chance to come out.
The camera has never been dropped or damaged.
